Ingredients

  • 2 bananas ripe, mashed
  • 1/4 cup brown rice syrup (or maple syrup)
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
  • 2 Tbsp almond milk
  • 3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Mash 2 ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Add in brown rice syrup, coconut oil, and almond milk. Mix until just combined.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in oats and coconut.
  • Scoop small spoonfuls of batter onto a baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Remember that the way you put the cookies on the baking sheet is the way they will come out of the oven, so do your best to make them nice-looking.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Remove and let cool on the baking sheet for a couple minutes before placing cookies on a cooling rack.
  • If you'd like to dip or drizzle with chocolate, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in small bowl. Chocolate will harden on cookies once it has cooled. You can expedite that process by placing them in the fridge.
